1. • • “The English Patient,” which was named a co-winner of the 1992 Booker Prize last month, is a tale of many pleasures — an intensely theatrical tour de force, but grounded in Michael Ondaatje’s strong feeling for distant times and places.

   Is the English Patient a good book?

   • The English Patient won the Man Booker prize in 1992 and the Governor General’s Award. It also won the Golden Man Booker prize this year. The prizes are well deserved and I hope this novel continues to be read and enjoyed for many years to come. I also hope that it is digested and that it will serve as a cautionary tale for future generations.

   Why does Michael Ondaatje say English Patient?

   • Perhaps it's because of all the classical references Michael Ondaatje places in the mouths of his character the English patient. Perhaps it is in the storytelling, concerning itself with the cerebral and almost entirely devoid of action except in the backstories. The poetic choice of words themselves may be the cause.
